Call for workshop participants to
RAM 2: A JOKER IN THE GLOBAL BUNKER*
Atelier Nord, Oslo, Norway, February 5th to 9th 2003
_
"While the hacker may be the Mole in the ranks of technocrats, and the
politician the Loudspeaker, the artist in this context is the Joker.
Subversive in such ways that both the notion of criminality, insanity
and political resistance are avoided, and any disciplinary reactions
from the authorities are obvious oppression. Skirmishing the borders,
acting as both the decoy and the trespasser. And, still smiling,
carefully moving the limitations of everyday life, opening the ways for
practices far more powerful."
- - biomatic.org, 1999

biomatic.org note on Global Bunker:
The term Global Bunker points at the situation where ownership is no
longer held by local capitalists but by networks of omnipresent
speculants, where the revolution in transport have made the sites of
production more or less independent from local resources and local
markets, when the collective sites of work are disintegrated and
replaced with individual, home based workstations through the use of
global virtual reality networks, and when all sites are carefully
defined in terms of their socio-economic use.

Subject: www.ggg.cc - games/gender/girls
Join -empyre- in December (http://www.subtle.net/empyre) for our final 02
session featuring cyber chicks Julianne Pierce and Mary Flanagan, both of
whom have investigated the game genres in relation to issues of media,
gender and power. Currently through their individual artistic, textual,
production and critical interventions, Flanagan and Pierce are players in
the construction of theory and culture of our shared online networks.
- --->Julianne Pierce, artist, new media producer and co-founder of
pioneering Australian cyberfeminist group VNS Matrix and current
Director of the Australian Network for Art and Technology (ANAT), will
discuss shifts in the cyberfeminist movement since its inception in
the early 1990's. Has cyberfeminism emerged as an empowering 'tool'
for engagement with technology, or has it become a factionalised
theoretical movement with little practical outcome? She will also
look at new media art within this context and more generally take a
look at the current concerns and issues of new media artists.
ANAT http://www.anat.org.au
VNS Matrix http://www.aec.at/www-ars/matrix.html
- --> Media practitioner and theorist Mary Flanagan investigates the
intersection
of art, technology, and gender study through critical writing, artwork, and
activism. She is also the creator of "The Adventures of Josie True," the
first web-based adventure game for girls. Mary has recently show in All Star
Data Mappers at Artspace, Sydney and in the Whitney Biennial,and edited,
with Austin Booth, "_reload: rethinking women + cyberculture" which views
cyberculture as a social experiment with an as-yet-unfulfilled potential to
create new identities, relationships, and cultures.

Description. "Production, Not Reproduction." Inspired by a quote by
20th-century design and photography master L=E1szl=F3 Moholy-Nagy, the
stated theme of this issue is a continuation of the set of ideas that
can even be seen, if dimly, in the first few issues: that of turning
a process intended for reproduction into a device for originating
expressive content. Implicit in this stance, we felt, was a critique
of the commonplace mental sets normally found in the businesses and
institutions where xerox machines and multilith presses found their
homes. We were saying that those who could afford to equip themselves
with such devices lacked the vision to use them well. We felt it was
up to us to apply imagination to the task of using these powerful
communication tools, and finding in them a certain virtuosity. This
quasi-political (or at least socio-critical) attitude is reflected in
the choice of many of the works that appear in this, and preceeding,
issues of the series.

Project Overview: The Photostatic Retrograde Archive serves as an
electronic repository for a complete collection of PhotoStatic
Magazine, PhonoStatic Cassettes, Retrofuturism, and Psrf, (as well as
related titles). Issues are posted as PDF files, at more or less
regular intervals, in reverse chronological order to form a
chronological mirror image of the original series. When the first
issue, dating from 1983, is finally posted in several year's time,
then this electronic archive will be complete.

Subject: Emergent Art
Under the right conditions, complex patterns and sequences emerge
from the interaction of simple events.
Please see my new work called Emergent Art at
http://www.paulstgeorge.com/emergence/
On the left you will see patterns emerge from the interaction of
cells as they obey the rules of Conway's Game of Life.
On the right you will see a different representation of the same
emerging patterns. The square cells are replaced by vertical lines
and the position and colour of the lines are determined according to
the sequences of coloured cells.
I welcome comments, criticism and also any information about other
forms of emergent art.
Thank you.

Subject: new work of Peter Hagdahl
From: "Peter Hagdahl" <hagdahl@algonet.se>
Dear friends,
Take a look at my new piece at the Swedish distributed art channel Beoff. It
will be up until December 11th
http://www.splintermind.com/beeoff/main_tables2.html
I have placed hidden cameras in different places in Stockholm that registers
motions in traffic and people walking. These motions influences and changes
the animation you see on the screen.
My very best regards,
Peter Hagdahl
- ---
About "Simualated social model no 2(sensoric transformation)"
In several of his pieces Peter Hagdahl has been working with questions on
how individuals influences and are influenced by the society. His pieces
investigate the relation between the virtual digital world and the physical
"real" world. In pieces like Under Influence/Trabsformation and
Transformation model 7 the audience was influencing a virtual world, whether
he or she wanted it or not. I digital film was affected by the appearance of
the viewer. The physical motion then had a virtual consequence that could be
seen in a projection on a wall where the piece was shown.
In his new piece, Simulated social model no2 (sensoric transformation), on
Beeoff Hagdahl takes the discussion further. A camera is placed somewhere in
Stockholm where it registers motions in traffic and people walking. The
registration of the camera is converted to impulses that are sent via
Internet to the Beeoff studio just outside Stockholm. In the studio the
impulses influences a 3D-animation.
That means that the individuals passing by the camera are influencing a
digital milieu placed far away. The result, the digital influenced
animation, is then shown at several places in Scandinavia and on a web site.
Hagdahl's piece becomes an interesting social sculpture and pictures complex
relations in society. Who is influencing who? How does the technology
influence the individual and society and vice versa?
The camera, wherever it is placed, will not gain any attention. The people
passing by will not know, and will not ever know, that they with their
motions influence a digital animation. Still audiences all around the world
will see their interaction with the technology.
It is easy to draw parallels to how IT-technology can be used or misused.
Our daily life is registered in many ways and we almost never think of it.
Our lives are transformed to data in different digital worlds, data that
creates basis for changes.
When Hagdahl uses Internet the discussion is widen. The distance between the
physical reality and the digital reality is larger. More and more the
digital world becomes a Freudian dream developed by impulses from an
unconscious physical reality.

just a short note to announce that i just launched a site called
"Critical Discourse" (http://CriticalDiscourse.net) as part of the
"Total Überzogen" group exhibition at the Edith Russ Site for Media
Art in Oldenburg Germany. in response the exhibitions' theme, the
site i have created is a hypothetical literary agency that promotes
the work of art critics and writers. there are seventeen other
artists/collectives in the show as well. i've included the official
release below. hope you enjoy. michael
Total Überzogen (Completely Covered/Totally Overdone)
Opening Reception: Friday, 29. November 2002, 8 pm
30. November 2002 - 9. February 2003
Adbusters (CAN), Banner Art Collective (USA), Urs Breitenstein (CH),
Candice Breitz (ZA), Deporatation Class (D), Johan Grimonprez (B),
Lise Harlev (DK), Swetlana Heger (CZ), Jenny Holzer (USA), Inventory

Mandiberg (USA), Julian Opie (GB), Peter Roehr (D), Daniel Pflumm
(D), Johannes Wohnseifer (D), Florian Zeyfang (D)
For this exhibition, the outside of the Edith Russ Site for Media
Art's building is covered with designs by artists as well as the
funders' logos: in the form of banners, window transparen-cies and
illuminated lettering. Inside, the exhibition hall also features
works that employ a variety of the forms of advertising as it is used
by the media such as Internet banners, video, magazines, posters and
flyers, and audio jingles: The media art space will be completely
covered inside and out: "total überzogen".
The goal is to create a thought-provoking visual platform on the
subject of representation in the cultural sphere - between artists,
activists, patrons and the cultural institution itself.
A one-sided critique of current concepts for cultural funding is not
the intention. Rather, the Edith Russ Site for Media Art will create
a strong visual impression in order to start a vital discussion.
Conveying the message - equally the goal of good advertising - has
also taken top priority in cultural institutions.
Sponsors and public funders increasing demands for representation has
been the source of much discussion in past years and has had a great
influence on the arts. This development is a double edged sword: it
ties art to particular image campaigns, consequently encouraging art
that can be easily consumed by mass culture. At the same time, a
"creative class" of indi-viduals in business who lend strategies from
the artworld has become a large economic force. In turn, many artists
have been inspired to integrate advertising aesthetics and
strate-gies into their own artistic practices, creating very fruitful
works: from the artistic appropriation of radio jingles in the 60s to
anti-globalization activists turning entire ad campaigns inside-out.
A series of events will take place during the exhibition in order to
create a space in which the public can watch and participate. Further
information will follow.
The exhibition will be presented in the format of a newspaper
publication (January release, 5 Euro).
For the duration of 11 weeks, the building will be covered in
colorful banners and dominate its environment. The Edith Russ Site
for Media Art will also chase away the cold and uphold the German
Christmas atmosphere with outdoor tours that offer a traditional
spiced wine.
This exhibition is funded by our own budget (City of Oldenburg), the
Beauftrage der Bundes-regierung für Kultur und Medien (National
Funds) and the State of Niedersachsen.
We thank the company Kleinhempel as well as the Foundation of Lower
Saxony for their support.
